Overview:
This past Sunday Pastor Ryan began a new series entitled TOGETHER. We heard Pastor Ryan’s heart come out and really the Word of God as he showed us in scripture that we belong together, therefore we are not alone. The Bible showed us that there are three themes of community and togetherness in the Bible: The family of God, the fellowship of believers and the body of Christ. All three of those themes have multiple scriptures that point to how vital our relationship with one another truly is. We are living in a time where being together is difficult. We were challenged to make connections, stay connected, and intentionally be there for one another.
Takeaways:
You are not alone
We have a loving responsibility to be there for those on the journey with us
We will feel alone if we don’t make spiritual family time a priority
We need each other
We belong to the body of Christ Spiritually, but we need to feel it physically.
Discussion:
What was a big takeaway for you from this message?
Share a time where you were sharpened or encouraged because someone was there for you in the family of God…
How does it make you feel to be together with and needed by other believers? Why?
Pastor Ryan gave some practical tips to start getting together, what would you add?
What valuable, meaningful things do you want to do when you get together with other believers?
Pray:
Heavenly Father, thank you for welcoming us into the family of God. We see it as an honor to be a brother and sister to one another. Help us to see our spiritual family and express our love physically with our time, presence, and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
We hoped you found this AFTER THE SERMON discussion helpful for your walk with Jesus. We pray you can find ways to apply it this week!
